My favorite thing about El Puerto is that they speak to you in Spanish. This is very cool to me, who French in highschool, because everytime I go there I learn to say something new. "Algos tomar?" -- aha something to drink? Yo comprendo. I had some very good chicken tostadas last time I went. The atmosphere is very friendly, the service is muy rapido and the location is right smack in the middle of Edmonds.

I really wanted to like this place. After all, the location is fabulous, right by the Edmonds Marina with breathtaking views of the water and mountains, next to the fishermen's dock. Edmonds needs a good fish and seafood restaurant, unfortunately, this isn't it.
The ambiance is just sad with wax tablecloth, patio-like chairs and tables, and poor light. And waiters really don't seem all that eager to please.
All of this would probably still warrant an okay rating, if it weren't for the quality of the food. In three separate visits -- I really wanted to give them another chance, twice! --, I reluctantly ate just enough to satisfy my immediate appetite and left the rest. It's grease fest galore, with bland seasoning and little creativity. Prices are about average, but too high for what you're getting. I'm waiting for a change in management, maybe I'll give them another try at that point.

They are famous for their (homemade?) soft TOFU hot soup. The tofu is so soft that melts in your mouth literally and the soup will do everything for you especially in cold winter. However, being a popular and busy Korean restaurant, you might occasionally have to ask the same thing twice to the wait person. Or you could just help yourself like my friend did when she needed extra table setting and a glass. Everything is quite reasonably priced.

Tonight was the first time our family of four ate here. They give you
only enough chips and salsa for half your party, and then they don't
want to bring you any more. I ordered shrimp fajitas, which came
with only six shrimp and three small tortillas. When I asked for
more fajitas they said I would have to pay for them. At $16 this
seemed ridiculous to me. I have never had another Mexican
restaurant charge you for enough fajitas to eat your meal. The food
tasted good, there just wasn't enough of it.

I like this small restaurant in downtown Edmonds. The wait service is friendly and fast. I never had to wait much during the week, however, have heard that there's a minimum wait time of 10 minutes in the weekend. My favorite is the seafood salad which the shrimp, squid is cook and pour over a dish of fresh salad. A good selection of bakery and dessert.

They've remodeled the interior not to look like your grandma's breakfast, but most of the food was pretty bland.

I consider myself a conniseour of pizza, and this is the best I've had in Seattle. It is not a new york style pizza, this pizza has some serious girth to it. Perfect crust, tons of cheese, and never light on the toppings. The specialty pizzas must be tried to be believed. Two week without romeos is much,much too long.

Very good Pan-Asian food at reasonable prices. The sauces are tasty and distinctive. Garlic rice and coconut ice-cream are especially good!
The atmosphere is pleasant, neither too fancy nor too dressed down.
This is a good restaurant for family and friends.

Wonderful Food; Worth the Trip

I stumbled across this location with my family by accident, and we have been back several times since. This restaurant is hidden in a strip mall behind a supermarket, and appears to be nothing special from the outside. Pains have been taken to spruce up the interior, however, and the food speaks for itself.
I've been frequently disappointed with the Chinese food I've had in Seattle, generally due to the quality and preparation of their meat, particularly the chicken. I want meat, not a mouthful of batter or gristle. That's one reason this place was such a find.
I haven't explored the entire menu, but the sweet and sour chicken is a family favorite. The spring rolls aren't too greasy, the pot stickers are tasty, they have a way with preparing your mu-shu burritos that I can only marvel at. The service has generally been quick and friendly. The price is reasonable.
So far this is our favorite Chinese place, and I'd highly recommend it.
